I should probably do the same. It frustrates me to no end that everything is always about weight. Weight I imagine merely a correlating factor, and while certainly bad, isn't the full story. My assumption is that people who eat poorly are somewhere on the insulin resistance spectrum and that includes many negative health impacts, regardless of weight.

Hi all, I wrote this script a while back after failing to find a simple way to remind myself to take breaks from my computer screen. Most of the other options out there involve completely locking you out of your screen; I just wanted a gentle notification. I think this has helped me have healthier computer habits and eyes!

If you use Windows or Linux, there's this old thread that might help you do a similar thing: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9406469.
Slim doesn't look particularly interesting for majority-plaintext applications.

It doesn't let you add nodes inline, so things like emphasis or links become much more verbose.
Thanks for posting this! It didn't seem to get much interest, but by coincidence yesterday I was actively looking for textbooks on this subject. Your link led to other resources I couldn't find via google/ddg (e.g. his offline blog at multiagent.com and the defunct yahoo groups list, both on archive.org).

There is one thing not being discussed anywhere that I would like to see discussed.

Sometime in Sept 2020 GME had purchased sum of shares that had in effecting had reduced the number of shares outstanding or the float and that purchase likely to have created the imbalance where the are more short shares than existing shares in my opinion.

I can not believe that the whole scheme has not been by design. I recall seeing GME pump starting right about then in Sept. I am also convinced that the shorting hedge funds could have been playing it on the up side via options. They could have sold puts; bought calls. There are a lot of dark pools that are not transparent to know who is doing what. It is pretty naive to believe that all these hedge funds dabbling in these type of games are the sheep and not the wolves.

Both the new shareholders who are now the insiders and the hedge funds are likely to be aware of the small float that would kick started the short covering pyramiding scheme and reddit would have provided the pawns to spawn it really fast.

Don't be naive. They fundies have been hitting all the high volatility stocks with small floats/ high short ratios.

I'm sure it enables other things, but I find the "Module.t" thing very inelegant. Names should be meaningful and distinguish the named object from other things that could go in the same place, but "t" is meaningless and there's often nothing else (no other types anyway) for it to distinguish itself from. It feels like a hack, and I much prefer the mainstream dot notation.
That's fantastic.

While I do think shorting is a valid counter to the perpetual sunshine inflation of the stock market, and I do agree that Nikola got what it deserved in shorting, I just love that Elon Musk probably destroyed a couple billion dollars of craven shorting with a single word tweet.

* Something the corporate-establishment doesn't like pops up and becomes more popular than their legacy crap

* Suddenly a controversy pops up, along the lines of: Fascism, White supremacy, think of the children(tm), x-phobic, surge of hateful posts appear for no reasons

* A few days later, right on time, a corporate-establishment media posts a smear article, taking the most offending quotes and content out of context and framing things to point the article is only technically true only.

* Payment and services providers bans appear a few days later. Credit cards, crowdfunding and hosting providers all ban the offender in quick succession.

This is why all those corporations pushing social justice and cancel culture was a scam from the first day and why Free Speech is so important, because you won't be the one in power deciding.
I'm not sure how that is relevant for this discussion.

The more accurate picture is that the US is designed for the wealthy to flourish. As it happens, the wealthy tend to be older for a variety of reasons.

A wealthy 25 year old is unlikely to face any significant risk that they will miss out on a medical procedure vs. an older adult, or ultimately face any existential risk for that matter.

Contracts where one party is incapable of getting the contract enforced are useless for that party. In the insurance case, an insured natural person may have lost the means to do so as a direct result of the event that leads to the insurance claim.

If you lose your family and house in a fire, with marginal savings, then you may not be able to afford a lawyer and your contract is useless in the truest sense of the word. Unlikely situation? Yes, but then, that's exactly what insurance is all about.
Problem is there are no competitors worth mentioning.

If discord can ban it, then it’s not really a “server” is it?

It’s an account on discord’s SaaS platform.

I respect your position. But these to me are window dressing positions cribbed from the Left.
I see the potential, but if they’re not you’ll damage your reputation and you won’t help your work either. Of course, if you don’t care, they made a hiring error in getting you, and it’s metastasizing. Which could happen.

It’s way cheaper for them than the external recruiter fee which has the same incentive problem too.

As opposed to just going some SPAC route that isn't a meme stock that could very well lose 95% of it's value in the next week/month?

The approach may have been suggested for Dell/VMWare, but at the moment GME is a totally different beast.
Yeah, I've seen that.

I feel like there's something better coming though. I feel like something's missing from activepub/federation.

I don't know if it's something to make censorship harder, or make privacy better, or for better identity.

Something though is missing. Maybe there needs to be a centralized "identity" and accounts can be "verified" like on twitter and you'd use @user instead of @user@server.com

This way you also could have less chance of impersonation. That's something that I really wonder about... I mean Obama could have an account on one site, and I could create an account with same name on another server masquerading as him, and who'd know which one's authentic?

Sure, if you don't care about celebrity insights that's great, but celebs actually do reply on twitter and that's one of the "draws" being able to possibly interact with someone famous who could make you "famous for a minute".

Yes, though that's kind of irrelevant. What use is Facebook to me if all my friends are only on Discord? These companies aren't the only source of socialization for everyone, but for a lot of people they effectively are.
JupyterHub in Kubernetes
Current scenario:
Our company has been using Jupyter Lab Notebooks in their local workstations and we have a shared VM with GPUs in Google Cloud with GPUs for larger training jobs which we power on when needed.

Background:
Most of the experiments in Notebooks are very different, some data scientists use Pytorch, while others use TF.

Sagemaker or Colab or Cloud Notebooks don't offer vertical scaling. For larger jobs (hours, days) the solution proposed by Google Cloud is to use AI Platform Training, but this requires for us to rewrite Notebooks.
An we don't want to rewrite code in Notebook to dispatch it to a different system.

One of the ideas we started looking is to use Notebooks in K8s using JupyterHub.

Does anyone uses JupyerHub in production?

We already have a dedicated k8s cluster and the expertise to manage it so I can think JupyerHub can be a good solution where each notebook runs in a pod that can be scale up/down Any pointers or comments about the experience are appreciated
> Nothing remotely significant happened in this situation that should have involved anything other than maybe some stern retorts on the medium she started on i.e. Twitter.

Somehow you miss the other side of this: her interaction on her train ride didn't deserve to be more significant than the average unpleasant experienced 10 times a week by anyone living in a city. She actively tried to make it bigger, then it got blown out of proportion by people like her, who blow shit out of proportion.

Maybe we should all start taking responsibility for our actions, instead of screaming 'cancel culture' whenever they catch up to us.
Making the Jump to Quit
I’m not nitpicking anything. Your argument was that it’s all just a joke, that calling yourself gay was self-deprecating. “I’m gay, I’m a retard, laugh at me.”

And now you contradict yourself saying it’s not meant to be degrading because it’s all just a joke.

You’re proving the toxic culture that those kinds of communities ferment.

> rest assured that we do read what you're writing on these posts and they've spurred some internal process discussions.

OK, that’s good to hear. Nobody from the company has reached out to me so this is the first time I’ve been made aware. The only public replies I’ve seen up until now seemed to focus exclusively on just the public bug bounty part, which is really the least important part of this whole thing.

> I believe the bugs you mentioned were cleared/fixed with version 7.0.0.439 which was released in Q1 of 2020.

It’s really critical to be transparent about this stuff and tell your users. You published release announcements for subsequent versions and there were no mentions of security issues being fixed. When you don’t do this, it looks like you’re intentionally trying to hide vulnerabilities from the public. This is not how any company should act, especially not one that promotes how radically transparent it is[0].

> I just noticed the Daniel Stenberg libcurl citation. Oof, yea that certainly a whiff on our end. Luckily though we were able to make up for it […]

I reported license violations in a ticket and nobody replied.

You did fix the libcurl violation, which is great, but it took a letter from the author, which is less great.

You are still violating the OpenSSL license.

It honestly baffles me that nobody at Backblaze thought to check the licenses of the other OSS libraries that you’re distributing after receiving a notice that one of them was being violated. It’s not like there’s a huge compliance burden or complicated dependency tree to evaluate—as far as I can tell, it’s zlib (which requires no acknowledgement), libcurl (which does), and OpenSSL (which also does, for the version you are using[1]). This would’ve taken like 30 seconds.

My impression of the US in the pandemic era is that the value of the old is not held in high regard. Even prior, culture was focused on the young.

From my personal experience, it does have some negative effects especially if you do it daily.

I would be more skeptical of a study that showed that cannabis had no harm.
Yes, they do but the insurers don’t touch the drugs (unless they own a pharmacy too).

You know how a drug can be tier 2 ($25 copay) or tier 3 (20% coinsurance)? That often the manufacturer offering a lower price in exchange for easier and cheaper access for patients.

Drug companies can also rebate on the back end. If an insurance pays for 1,000 vials of drug, they get a 10% rebate. 2,000 vials, a 20% rebate.

That might be true, but these ones are not. I can't efficiently read them on my smartphone and have to scroll around a lot. They also show two pages on one, probably to be better printable for some marketing material, but I would never want to print a PDF that's mostly black, because that would overwhelm my printer. I'm also not near a printer right now. This is clearly inaccessible to me.

HTML, on the other side, can be easily made readable on any device. Even if the author didn't care, through readable mode in my browser.

He said “primary host of insurrectionists” and said nothing about planning. You’re just looking to fight about some terrible app that was ran by a wannabe mark zuckerberg that prided himself on letting extremists run rampant. Zero moderation meant anyone who wanted to say “hang mike pence” could do it all day long without any fear of repurcusion. That’s a clearly violent threat. That’s the chant of a anarchist mob.
I think a lot of people commenting here have not read the comments on WSB.

Ask HN: How do you manage up?
I got burnt really badly on a recent gig because I couldn't manage up too well.

It turned out that my manager (and up) had very little insight into software concepts and software development process.

They seemed happy to see all the architecture and design details we shared with them. But their trust and confidence didn't come from actual comprehension of these. Minute anything went off track a bit, they would start to question everything. They would want to change tracks and change people. Needless to say this was VERY disruptive and wasted a lot of time and energy over and over again.

What are some of your war stories? How do you handle this?
There were potential competitors back when it really didn't matter - the early 00s. Even AIM at its feature peak could do pretty much everything Discord can do now (save for some of the server organization and custom content), but only a fraction in the US had Broadband to take advantage of it.

And it wasn't written in resource-hungry Electron.
It already happens in the UK using the IWF list. Wikipedia was blocked for a while there due to it.
It becomes manipulation when its coordinated. A massive investment forum is blatantly talking about inducing a short squeeze as a collective. This has been advertised non-stop on WSB as some kind of populist uprising for months. All the rhetoric about the little guy sticking it to "the man" is necessary for attracting new buyers and keeping the squeeze alive.

In reality, many institutions are also long GME and capitalizing on the squeeze as well.

It's a pump-dump...which is illegal.
That's a perfect example; in my experience that kind of RNG state is global (or at least, it has all the problems of traditional global state). Potentially any object might behave in a strange way, because it contains a reference to that RNG (hidden from you): you might find a sequence of calls that usually, but not always, reproduces a bug in test, and then it turns out that it depends on whether other tests running in parallel are affecting the RNG state. Essentially any test you write that's bigger than a single-class mock test has to be aware of the RNG and stub it out, even if you're testing something that on the face of it has nothing to do with RNG.

In a functional program you would make the RNG state an explicit value, and pass it where it's used (but not where it isn't - so there might be large program regions that don't have access to it). It'll be an explicit part of the top-level state of your program. I'd argue that that's not actually any more global - or at least, it causes fewer problems - than the OO approach.

Older people in the US seem in better shape because earlier generations were on average wealthier and had higher incomes, hence greater savings.

I don’t really get it. Why do we keep telling people that it is support worthy to engage in name calling? Is it alright to let kids call teachers names at school? “This fucking imbecile wants me to do homework! Fuck that shit!” Maybe that’s ok now since Trump made it acceptable but it certainly wasn’t considered to be appropriate for a long time. It’s not free speech, it’s derogatory speech (for either side of those comparisons). So what changed?
I think they're pointing out that "the hippies" were a very small % of people their own age with an out-sized popular culture representation that doesn't reflect the sentiments of the rest of that generation.
1. Book value: how much you could get by liquidating all the assets

2. Discounted cash flow: how much revenue this business is expected to make in the next N years

3. Dividends

I will grant that multiples vary wildly by industry, but in theory that's a reflection of earning potential of the industry as a whole.
As I said, they made a painful exit but they were able to get out. If there was a real squeeze going on, their losses would have been eye-watering and far far over 100% of their assets. In 2008, Volkswagen became the most valuable company in the world for a day because short sellers literally _could not_ exit their position. There were no shares to acquire at any price. Gamestop, with 90M trade volume in the last day, does not resemble a squeeze at all. Short sellers are able to leave and lick their wounds. In a squeeze they'd be trapped.
